Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 253 Confessing the Truth (Extra)

“What are you saying, you don’t want this baby?”

Donna was struck by lightning, her face changing from surprise and delight to sheer

terror.

Her precious daughter-in-law had been married to Adrian for more than half a year now, and finally, she

was pregnant.

This is a joyous occasion for the Moxley family. What do you mean, they don’t plan on having this

child?

Evelyn had a headache.

She and Adrian only had that one time.

Now, facing this messy situation, she didn’t know how to explain it.

At first, acting with Adrian was just a way to find some peace and quiet, and to avoid being pressured

into marriage by my family.

As for the so-called marriage that lasted for more than half a year, it was just a fake

marriage certificate obtained more than half a year ago, which was used to deceive and

pass off as genuine.

It must be said that at this point, she and Adrian really hit it off.

Adrian was constantly pressured by his parents and Grandma to get married, to the point where he felt

like his head was about to split open.

She was constantly being pestered by her family to go on blind dates, and after meeting

so many weird men, she was almost developing a trauma.

What’s all this talk about having three or four children after marriage, taking care of each other’s

paralyzed elderly mothers, and not only cooking and raising children but also earning money so as not

to freeload?

There are also those with some assets who propose signing a prenuptial agreement, stating that no

matter the reason for divorce, the woman cannot take any property, including in cases where the man

cheats or is at fault in other ways.

She must be out of her mind if she still wants to get married.

Especially after hearing about Deborah’s initial marriage to Ashton, and the so-called married life they

had for those few years.

Speaking of it, it’s all nightmares.

So when Adrian took out 150 million dollars to show his sincerity and proposed to

discuss a deal with her, she felt it was quite appropriate.

Unable to bear the pressure of blind dates arranged by the family, I soon agreed to Adrian’s proposal.

Adrian placed 150 million dollars with her parents, and Max and Mina quickly became convinced of

their deep feelings for each other.

Evelyn also agreed that she would repay Adrian the principal amount along with

interest in the future.

Once we got the fake marriage certificate and showed off our pretend affection, I must say, things

became much more peaceful.

The only unexpected incident was that one night, Evelyn got too excited and drank too

much.

Mina took her directly to her son-in-law Adrian’s place.

The next day, as soon as they woke up, the two people in the bed were stark naked, staring at each

other.

Adrian said that on that night, his crew had a celebration party and he also drank too

much.

As a result, when he came back and went to bed, he had no idea when Evelyn had slipped

into his bed.

And as for what happened next, well, that’s pretty much how it went.

Although Evelyn didn’t believe it, what could she do? After all, she had brought it upon

herself.

That night, she couldn’t recall anything that had happened.

Evelyn thought back to those events and looked at the present moment, where the entire Moxley family

was gazing at her intently.

Nora was extremely upset and immediately scolded Adrian, “What’s wrong with you?!

Did you have another fight with Evelyn? I’ve told you many times, you’re married now,

and you need to change your attitude!

Especially now that Evelyn is pregnant, as a grown man, you should take responsibility for your Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

actions.”

Adrian gently placed his hands on Evelyn’s shoulders and said quietly, “Evelyn, let’s go

upstairs to talk. We don’t want to worry Mom, Dad, and Grandma.”

If it were in the past, Evelyn would have definitely cooperated with him.

But now, she reached out and pushed away the hand that was wrapped around her

shoulder.

Having a child is no small matter, and she doesn’t want to play this role anymore, nor

can she continue to do so.

There’s no way she could actually have a child with Adrian.

She looked at Adrian with an unwavering determination she had never shown before, “I think it’s time

for us to tell the truth. Why don’t you go ahead and say it? This matter concerning the child is no

laughing matter.”

Adrian fell silent, his face looking unwell.

Donna quickly calmed down and sternly asked, “Adrian, what’s going on? Are you guys. hiding

something from me?”

Adrian still didn’t want to speak.

Evelyn mustered up her courage and explained, “I’m sorry, but Adrian and I never actually got married.

We have deceived our elders. The previous marriage certificate was fake, and now this.

unborn child is an accident. We will handle it properly.”

Before the Moxley family could regain their composure, a furious voice rang out from the entrance,

“Stop this nonsense!”

Evelyn felt a chill down her spine, and as she glanced toward the entrance, she saw Max and Mina, his

face pale with anger, coming in from outside.

It was quite clear that her parents had heard everything she had just said.

Alright, that day will come eventually.

In the past six months, she increasingly felt that playing this game with Adrian was a huge mistake.

It’s difficult to reach a conclusion unless the two people ultimately get married and live together.

Max was furious and stepped forward, ready to slap Evelyn across the face.

My daughter and son-in-law have been married for over half a year, and now they even have a child.

Yet, they claim it’s all just for fun.

What is this if not a mess!

He rushed to Evelyn in just a few steps, and she was caught off guard, standing there stiffly.

Adrian reacted quickly, stepping in front of his dad, “Dad, let’s talk calmly. If there’s really a mistake, it’s

both mine and Evelyn’s fault, not just hers.”

Max was so furious that his hands were shaking. He couldn’t contain his anger as he looked at Evelyn,

“If Adrian still calls me ‘Dad,’ it means he still cares about you!

I don’t care if your marriage is real or fake, from now on, you must be husband and wife.

If you haven’t gotten your marriage certificate, go get it now! You already have a child.

way, so make sure to bring them into this world. We, the Moore family,

absolutely cannot commit the heinous act of taking a life!”

on the

Evelyn felt a bit guilty, lacking confidence, and her voice was low. “How can this be considered murder?

It’s not the same.”

Max was so furious that he almost jumped up, “How is this not the same? How is it not the same! Since

the child already exists, whether it’s born or not, it’s still a life.

If this were in a foreign country, not wanting a baby would be illegal. I’m telling you, we must have the

baby; it’s absolutely necessary!”

He looked at the other members of the Moxley family and said, “Sebastian, Nora, Mrs. Moxley, what do

you think?

My daughter was just being mischievous. Since the marriage was fake, if you don’t want the child, our

Moore family can raise them on our own.”

Donna, feeling as if her heart had been stabbed, said anxiously, “Of course we, the Moxley family, want

the child. Young people can be thoughtless, but our two families shouldn’t get angry with each other.

Let’s sit down and have a proper talk now, or we can discuss the wedding date again. It’s the same

whether we get married now or later. Adrian, you should express your thoughts quickly, so Evelyn

doesn’t get anxious and affect the baby.”

Adrian sneaked a glance at Evelyn and cautiously said, “I’m fine with anything, as long as Evelyn is

willing.”

Both families had just breathed a sigh of relief when Evelyn spoke solemnly, “I don’t want to. I don’t

want the child, and I don’t want to get married. I’m sorry, Mr. Moxley, Mrs. Moxley, and Old Mrs.

Moxley.

I am truly grateful for the affection and kindness that my elders have shown me, but I am not fortunate

enough to accept it. Admittedly, it is a bit late to be honest about this today, but I cannot allow things to

continue down the wrong path.”

Every time Adrian thought about her giving up the child, he couldn’t help but lose his

composure.

“How come you can’t enjoy the good fortune? In the past six months, everyone in my family has grown

fond of you. If you’re not fortunate, then who is?”

Evelyn glanced at him, her voice softening.

“What do you mean? What did you say six months ago? How did this child come about? What

happened that night? Do you really want me to explain everything here?”

Adrian’s face stiffened as Evelyn’s phone rang.

She took out her phone and looked at the people around her, “I’m sorry, I have something to deal with,

I’ll be leaving for a bit.”

She said so and went straight out.

Nora was extremely anxious and immediately asked Adrian to chase after them.

Once outside, with no one else around, it was just Adrian and Evelyn together.

Adrian caught up with her and stopped her, “That night was truly an accident, you know

we both had too much to drink…”

Evelyn found her path blocked and stopped in her tracks, looking at him, “Really? Are

you drunk?”

Adrian, a professional actor, showed no signs of vulnerability on his face. “Yeah, didn’t you already

know?”

Evelyn used to think that some things were quite embarrassing to say out loud.

After all, things had already happened, and with the Moxley family’s capabilities, she

couldn’t do anything to Adrian.

But at this moment, it was becoming unbearable.

“Adrian, as someone who’s used to hanging out like this, you can’t seriously not know that men can’t

handle too much alcohol, right?

Can you drink so much that you can’t recognize who I am, can’t distinguish what you can and cannot

do, and get drunk to that extent? Would you dare to touch me then?”
